REVCO MECHANICAL CRYOGENIC FREEZER OVERVIEW The Mechanical Cryogenic Freezers is available. As part of the product release in 2011, we have added the CE mark and restructured our price positioning to better service our customers and more effectively compete in the marketplace. The Mechanical Freezers offer customers the best storage capacity per liter in the industry. Contained within this product information you will find Product Profile Overview Pricing Product Specification Sheet Product Datasheets and Technical Specifications Competitive Information. PRODUCT PROFILE We will continue to offer two sizes: 292 Liter and 193 Liter. We have improved our manufacturing capabilities. At Poly Temp, we will try to stock the units so we can respond to fast delivery request from your customers. To maintain the right stock level, we depend on information which we receive from you on pending projects. Therefore, keep us informed at all times, if you are working on projects which involve the mechanical cryogenic freezers. All 50Hz models now carry the CE mark and utilized CFC/HCFC-free refrigerants to maximize cooling and minimize environmental impact. The model numbers and voltage configurations along with their status and lead times are listed below.

KEY FEATURES &SELLING PROPOSITIONS Refrigeration System Single compressor, orbital refrigeration system for system reliability. CFC/HCFC-Free refrigerant mix designed for cryogenic applications maximize cooling and minimize environmental impact. Automatic voltage boost to compensate for low voltage conditions. Advanced Control Features Microprocessor controls with Automatic Incident Monitoring, Lifeguard, and RS232 communications provide increased sample protection Set point security system for main power and alarm locks in set points for increased sample protection System Design Uniform storage chamber temperatures from top to bottom compared to LN2 storage Double seal lid gaskets to minimize frost build up. Saves energy Storage Capacity Best storage capacity per liter in the industry (based on 2ml vials, 100 vials/box) provides maximum space utilization. (comparison sheet can be found below versus the Sanyo Mechanical Cryogenic Freezer) KEY DRIVERS FOR MECHANICAL CRYO OVER LN2 Health and safety Need for low O2 monitoring / dual staffing Cost of LN2 (esp. in auto-fill LN2 vessels) Cost of manual handling / refills even on auto refill LN2 vessels Access to stores / LN2 fill point. In many cases, especially due to the cost of above, Mechanical Cryo is overall cheaper to operate. According to scientists, liquid phase storage provides a route for cross contamination. Better temperature uniformity in mechanical cry than vapour phase cryo storage (see below).

CORE APPLICATIONS & SELLING SCENARIOS Core Applications: LONG TERM (Indefinite) Sample Storage: ten plus years. Cryogenic storage of biological samples (below -130 C, which is where most biological reactions cease). Selling Scenarios Concerns over cost, safety, and availability of LN 2. LN 2 is not required with a Mechanical Cryogenic freezer. Concerns over uniformity in LN 2.vapor systems. Our Mechanical Cryogenic Freezers offer superior top to bottom uniformity versus LN 2.vapor freezers Concerns over cross contamination using liquid phase LN 2 storage. The liquid LN 2 provides a cross contamination pathway there is no LN 2 with a mechanical cryogenic freezer Concern over maintenance of an LN 2 system especially with keeping LN 2.tanks filled. Mechanical cryogenic freezers just plug into the wall.

OUR MECHANICAL CRYO VERSUS Sanyo/Panasonic ULT7150 smaller footprint than the smallest Sanyo/Panasonic, yet has a greater capacity of cryoboxes than their larger unit. Our largest ULT10140 machine is totally unique sell this and you have NO competitive arguments on storage capacity. Both our 292 and 193 Liter Mechanical Cryo Freezers outperform Sanyo/Panasonic. Sanyo lack low voltage compensation. Storage comparison Footprint Sanyo/Panasonic go to market with VIP technology. They claim they give you more efficient use of lab space. However.. Our ULT7150-9 stores 6 Boxes less, the lab space required is actually MORE BOXES in a SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER LAB FOOTPRINT than the Sanyo/Panasonic VIP product despite being only 8cm taller. Sanyo/Panasonic says: 25% MORE storage than a conventional freezer due to vacuum panels. But. The reality: 20% LESS space efficiency than our conventional freezer we fit almost same number of cryoboxes into a smaller footprint. Space efficiency Storage Efficiency (Cryoboxes per m2) Higher is better 180.0 160.0 140.0 120.0 100.0 80.0 60.0 40.0 20.0 0.0 72.3 We are more space 105.8efficient 132.6 167.2 MDF-1156 MDF-C2156VAN ULT7150 ULT10140 If the customer is truly space conscious, use the ULT10140: This is a measure of how many cryoboxes are stored per square metre of lab space. The Thermo products are more space efficient, and the ULT10140 has a real advantage over the alternatives.
